Is anyone worried?

Friends keep sending me videos about backpackers being arrested and scientists being deported. I have been told to take a burner phone to the US ‘just in case’.
I can’t believe there has been travel warnings. The last time I had booked and paid for a Disney trip, Covid put paid to it.

I'm from the US so maybe I'm not the right person to ask.
I'm not sure why on vacation at Disney you'd be arrested or "deported" unless you were say being drunk and disorderly or getting into fights or doing illegal things...
Yes the government is messed up right now but for the most part day to day life is not looking any different.

Seriously, people need to stop watching Tik Tok...and believing it!

This conversation would best be had on the controversial board as it will slide into political.

Are you serious?? lol. You should be more scared of your own government…oh wait, you can’t admit to that online or you’ll be arrested!

I think OP is referring to people being turned back at airport immigration rather than being deported from behaviour whilst in the country.

OP: get your ESTA, answer the questions at passport control politely and honestly and go enjoy your holiday.

If you have a criminal record you may find trouble with customs. If not, travel safe and have fun.

It needs to be moved somewhere
